Justice Jam

For nearly 50 years, a nonprofit law firm has provided free civil legal aid to North and Central Florida residents, focusing specifically on those who are low-income, disabled, elderly or military service veterans. The group provides services in 17 counties ranging from housing and family law to pursuing disability and VA payments. But the group’s mission hinges on community support. An upcoming fundraiser featuring live music and cocktails aims to help the group raise $30,000 to fund its services. The 3rd Annual Justice Jam will take place at 6 p.m. May 14 at Brick and Beam in Springfield.

Guests:

  • LaTonya Lipscomb Smith, heirs property project manager, Three Rivers Legal Services Inc.
  • Kevin Rabin, litigation director, Three Rivers Legal Services Inc.
